Souped Up Ball Videos?
« on: June 24, 2015, 12:29:41 AM »
I have seen now a few ball videos from various YouTube channels wherein it seems to me the video has been uploaded in such a way that it plays faster than normal speed, just slightly.  This gives the illusion that the bowling ball is moving with extraordinary quickness off of the dry and rolling with immense force.  I don't remember the videos I've seen in the recent past but I just came across another (below).  Is this just a glitch in YouTube or is it another form of marketing, generally speaking?

Maybe, if anything, it may have been increased to give the illusion of repeatability of shots and ball motion. But I'm guessing the video speed was increased to fit more shots within a 90-second segment.

Bowlers deals seem to have the ball through the pins and pin deck awfully fast...

It looks a little suspect watching the ball go down the lane. The quick rack doesnt help either. The little bit of the bowlers body seen in the video seems normal speed but its hard to say.

Maybe its the ball color and lightning? It looks a bit fast to me but may be other factors

…… you can't  add a physics term to a bowling term and expect it to mean something.

I know Marc Heninger, the guy in the video, he works part time for our pro shop group and is a Motiv staffer, and he honestly throws the ball like that.  I also know Jeff Ussery who is the marketing manager for Bowler's Mart, who produces, narrates, and most of the time "stars" in the videos, and he wouldn't speed up the videos.  Yeah the sweep looks like it comes down pretty quick, but Marc has an Osku Palermaa-like ball roll.  Lots of speed, lots of revs, pins get sucked into the pit really quick.  Motiv balls also have very strong backend transitions, so when you add that kind of speed and revs, yeah, it makes it look crazy, but this video is a very familiar and completely authentic sight to me.

Some times it's a video format thing? IDK but I did a video years ago with the Fired Up and at the time I threw the ball just below 15 mph. but in the close up views, it looked like I was rolling faster than I noramally throw.
